Michelle Obama Brings Toys for Tots from The White House

First Lady Michelle Obama drops off donated gifts at the Toys for Tots warehouse in Stafford, Virginia, on Wednesday (December 16).

The organization, run by the Marine Corps, gives toys and gifts to needy children across the US. Michelle dropped off gifts donated by the White House Executive Office staff. According to ABC News, more than 500 toys were collected from the staff!

Michelle also encouraged those who donate to think of older kids in need.

“We’ve got more than enough toys for younger kids, and one of the challenges that this program has is really finding toys for the older kids,” she said.

“You look over in those bins and you just sort of think, you know, the little kids? Great. But you’re 11, you’re still waiting for Santa and you still want to make sure you have something in the stocking.”
